Exercise Red Flag is an advanced aerial combat training exercise held annually by United States Air Force in Nevada. It provides an important opportunity to reaffirm the RAF's close ties with the United States Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force.
It also provides the RAF with unparalleled training, preparing its Aviators for operations against any adversary that may choose to confront the UK. Integrating with the United States Air Force and Royal Australian Air Force allows future air operations to be conducted together more effectively.
